Many thousands of years ago the Jews lived in Israel. For various reasons they were basically invaded, taken as slaves, and most of the land was over run and resettled by many different groups, mainly Palestinians.

After World War 2 and the eradication of many of the European Jewish population, what was left formed a coalition with the USA to reform Israel. By 1947 many of these Jews and Americans had entered Israel which was full of people living there (mainly Palestinian) and basically drew a line through the city and took it back. This is deemed an act of terrorism by some people and many countries like Iran refuse to recognize Israel as a valid country.

In fairness, what the Americans and Jews did was wrong, they basically screwed up the balance of the Middle East and caused many problems, many of which continue to this day.

On the flipside, the Jews were the ones who were there first, they just couldn't hold their own without protection, and like I said, many thousands of years ago they were overrun and defeated.

Basically a case of both sides crying about land that was never really either of theres in the first place. Historically its the Jewish peoples, recently (up til 1947) it wasn't, so for many of the Palestinians they feel that since they "conquered" it and resettled it, it should be theirs.

I say give back America to the indians, australia to the aboriginals etc.

Well if that was done Europe would be full of white people. Basically what Hitler tried to do in WW2.

A white Europe was what he wanted, and by the sounds of it what you want as well.

I would be perfectly fine if America was given back to the Indians. I have European ancestry : dutch/english and german. I would love to live back where my ancestors did

edit- but if Indians were given North America they'd simply be over run by another group, be it the Mexicans or the Russians.

No you misunderstood. I meant that if the making of Israel is justified by the jews being there thousands of years ago, then america and australia should be given back to which of course is an unlikely event and of course not necesseary since other cultures already are so well established

Well America is basically just a bunch of white Europeans who built a country then allowed Africans, Asians etc to come live in it through immigration. So if it were given back to the Indians, what I was saying is all the white Europeans would all of a sudden be back in Europe and it would be alot of people (overcrowding) so I am sure you Europeans are happy we built a new place to prevent it from being like China lol. Way to many people and not enough space.

Thats why im saying it can not happen i was ironic before. I comparisoned Israel with America because it cant be justified anymore with the reason that they lived there before.

This is in extremely bad taste, and none of these are even remotely amusing.

If you were brought up in their family, lived their life, had their friends, then you would act in exactly the same way. What gives you the right to persecute anyone for the person that society has made them into?
